The study of theology has been practiced for centuries. Theology is the science of religion and the study of God. While theology can mean the study of any god or religion, it is most commonly associated with Judeo-Christian practices and faith. The science of theology dates back to ancient Greece when early philosophers studied the deities of the Olympian gods, although Jewish practices were considered to be in place since the beginning of human creation. For the past 2,000 years, the practice of theological Christianity has taken place since the life of Jesus Christ. Theology provides an expectation and philosophy for those who practice it and who share in its beliefs.
